Performance monitor is a commonly known tool delivered within Windows operating systems. It is able to show performance metrics from almost every part of the operating system and from services running on it. We can see live data in the form of diagrams or we can grab the data by so-called Data Collection Sets. Data collection sets save values of counters selected by an administrator to a file. The file is then used for offline analysis or for correlation with trace data.
